Yep! You're all right I have some zebra danios, WCMMs and leopard danios. I'm going to rehome the leopard danios into my planted tank when I get that up and going

Tank is 80x30x30. Filtration is a fluval 204 external. Plants are some Java Ferns, Java Fern Windelov and Java moss. Oh, and some riccia which i'm pondering what to do with

you could try making a carpet with your riccia. in the planted tanks section jimboo has a pinned topic on how to do it

Had thought about it, but I don't think I have enough light (approx 1.8wpg) and I'm not using any ferts or co2. It might make its way into my planted tank along with the danios

Unfortunately not necessarily the case I seem to have some parasite issues at the moment. I dosed with Flubenol 15 on Friday and seems to have made a difference but some of the little guys are still skittish.

The Goldfish seems the happiest though. He does hide away but much less since adding the medication, so fingers crossed

80X30X30?!?!? Are those in cemtimeters or inches?! cuz that tank doesn't look 80"long or 30" deep or high to me

lol, cm Its ~ 70ltr/20 US Gal I think its a fluval tank (Second hand, no badges but the hood is fluval). I need to build anew hood to home the Arcadia i-Bar light unit, as its sitting on the tank edges, meaning I've had to drop the water level by 2".

Thanks He's got quite a personality. He's a little shy at times. He used to follow my finger along his old tank and sort of chace it, but not so much now. Ideally I'd get him a friend, but my tank isn't big enough for 2.
